Heather is 36% done with The Crescent Moon Tearoom
DNF at 36%. This book is fine, but I don’t want to read another three star book right now.

There’s nothing wrong with this book, but it feels like a three star book. I’d rather DNF and pick up something I might love instead.

David J. Schow, Walk on Gilded Splinters

I like the take on religion and how the events of The Stand would be remembered. I can appreciate what the author was doing here, but I didn’t enjoy it.

Chuck Wendig, Grand Junction

This one takes place many years after The Stand. We follow a teenage boy who has been asked to help out the town leader. I loved the last few pages.

Somer Canon, Awaiting Orders in Flaggston

This story takes place a year after the showdown in Vegas. It follows a group of people who managed to get away before Vegas was destroyed and a 12-year-old girl who never had dreams about Mother Abigail and Flagg.

Wayne Brady and Maurice Broaddus, Abigail’s Gethsemane

I loved following a familiar character, Mother Abigail. We learned more about her through a flashback to 1919 and getting into her head during the time she left Boulder to reconnect with God.

Paul Tremblay, The Story I Tell Is the Story of Some of Us

I hate this. It’s written in second person, which I thought was interesting at first. Ten pages in though, and I can’t do it anymore.

Tananarive Due & Steven Barnes, The Boat Man

A thirteen year old girl and a ten year old boy from Key West try to convince “the boat man” to take them to the mainland. I’ve loved previous Due books, but this was just okay.

S.A. Cosby, The Legion of Swine

Of course I loved this one. Cosby can do no wrong in my eyes. A man alone on his farm with his pigs deals with three strangers that arrive.

“Sometimes hope was just a life raft in the middle of a hurricane, but it was better than drowning.”

Alex Segura, La Mala Hora

This one was interesting. I like that La Mala Hora can represent “the bad hour” but also a dark figure, aka Randall Flagg.

“This world…had been fucked up long before Captain Trips. Long before the virus decimated us. A world full of corruption, lacking empathy, hope, and sincerity.”

C. Robert Cargill, Wrong Fucking Place, Wrong Fucking Time

This was fun. Two good ole boys from small town Texas meet up to drink beer and watch horror movies every night after spending their days cleaning up the dead bodies around town. I liked the commentary on horror movies in this one.

4.5 stars & I will definitely read more from this author
